A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy strokes and compact counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, giving bowls and shoulders a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtly softened corners, and the overall construction favors verticality with minimal stroke modulation. Spacing is economical and rhythm is steady, producing dense word shapes and a strong, poster-like texture at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and high-impact titles where space is limited and maximum presence is needed. It can work well on packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from compact width and strong legibility at larger sizes. In longer text it will feel dense and attention-grabbing, so it’s most effective for short bursts and typographic emphasis.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, headline-driven character. Its compressed proportions and chunky geometry suggest vintage signage and editorial display typography, projecting urgency and confidence rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using squared-round geometry to keep forms sturdy and consistent. Its emphasis on condensed proportions and bold mass points to a practical display face for attention-driven communication.
Capitals are especially uniform and monumental, while lowercase forms keep the same compressed logic with short ascenders and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed build, maintaining consistent color and presence in mixed settings.
